In celebration of the original release and the rediscovery of “Little Mr. Jim,” a movie filmed at the University of Utah’s Fort Douglas in 1945, Fort Douglas is hosting a Hollywood premier inspired screening on April 22.
This month marks the 70th anniversary of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studio’s release of the film “Little Mr. Jim,” based off of Tommy Wadelton’s book titled “Army Brat.” The book explores the life of Little Jim, the son of an American soldier who turns to alcohol after the boy’s mother dies, leaving Little Jim to be raised by the family’s Chinese cook, Sui Jen.
